Urban Insights' transportation-focused big data and predictive analytics consulting and services practice, announced today, helps the industry improve operations, reduce costs and better serve travelers. Today's urban transportation networks generate large amounts of operational data and information from systems and a vast number of sensors. However, unlocking the hidden insights using today's standard reporting tools and methods is a challenge. Urban Insights empowers transportation organizations to gather any kind of data from wherever it resides, combine it with other relevant sources, unlock the insights contained within, and then act on them.
